a chef has a recipe that calls for 4 cups of flour. She wants to make 3/4 of the recipe instead of determining directly how many cups are needed for the new recipe she fills 3/4 of a cup 4 times. Explain why this method works

Respuesta :

She wants to use 3/4 of the recipe and 3/4 of a cup 4 times equals three cups. Three cups is 3/4 of 4 cups.

Answer:

It would have been more practical to remove one cup from the 4 that the recipe requires. 3 cups represent 3/4 of the recipe.

As for the method the chef chose, it is also correct, fill 3/4 parts of the cup 4 times adds up to 3 full cups.
